Must be Londoners :p

 

Either way the glow is way way to big and not something you generally see in Europe, especially in the Mediterranean ocean and mountains.

 

Even though you're right, i feel duty bound to stick up for my kinsmen! :p

how are you guys doing on the wheelspin? aside from the 75K i got on one of my first ones, ive been constantly getting low prizes, even with the perk :/

When you get the next level up, you get the wheelspin to claim the free car/credit.

Play around some more and you will understand how it works and you get used to it.

The spin is RNG sometimes you get crap, sometimes mid and rarely top.

 

Ive gotten the car I mentioned before, a Diablo or Harahan, and a 100k cash price, and a lot of crap. Now I just spent some time online and have whole lot of spins to do :D


the spin is completely random though, you could win the top car on your first spin, or never.

Phew, I was really starting to get worried there, as when I first fired up the game earlier today, there was still nothing.

About 3 minutes later a message popped up that I had 11 new messages.

1 of them was my 300,000 credits, 3 of them were cars thanks to Forza Rewards, and the rest were related to the Neowin Club. (Y)

 

I then picked up the VIP pass now just to get that 2x acceleration. I do wish when you get a pack like that, the 5 cars that come with it would just automatically go to My Cars. Having to download them one by one is pretty damn annoying, unless of course something did not work as it was supposed to again?

The cars have auto downloaded for me, the dlc that is. 

 

The gifts cars you get in the mail have always worked like that, you need to click each mail to "download" it to your garage. 

This is the 5 VIP cars and I never got an email about them in game, so perhaps that is why?

They showed up under one car packs as purchased for me and I even clicked each one from the car pack and they were just showing up as $0 and nothing was happening.

I then went to My Cars and they were nowhere to be seen.

The only way I could get them to My Cars was to go to the auto room and manually search through all the cars. I even tried filtering by owned but then they disappeared.

It was not until I chose each car individually and downloaded it individually that they eventually showed up.

 

If this is not how it is supposed to work, they need to fix whatever is making them work like this.

And I did quit the game completely. Twice actually, hoping it would fix the issue.

 

The reason that leads me to believe they were working the way they were supposed to work is tonight was actually the first time I was seeing leaderboards when I was completing objectives (like smashing boards, finding roads, etc.), so that was working for me now while it was not the previous times I played the game.

 

I did read some people saying they were having similar issues with a certain version of the preview program. My console never auto updated as I had a power outage about a week ago so it was not in standby mode and just updated to the latest OS version the day FH2 came out. So the one thing we all had in common is we had not turned on our XBox One in the past week.

Ah, the only cars you get directly into your garage are the mail gifts, and they are just that gifts handed out by turn 10 staff(ish). the bonus cars you have to buy for free. never had a problem buying the 0 credit cars myself though.

I did not have a problem per say, the only problem I had is downloading them individually. I think if you get a Car Pack, that whole pack should just go into your My Cars automatically, and if you do not want them for any reason, you could store them, etc. Just seems like more of a manual process than it needs to be. I see how people would want it the way it is as they enjoy the process of looking at each car, etc. I do not really, and just want to get down to the racing.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
